In the framework of a 3D tomography project, we propose to build a geometrical modeling tool based on parametric representation of horizons. We decided to use the Gocad modeler because it has numerous features oriented toward the manipulation and the visualization of 3D objects. Since in the Gocad project the horizons are modelised as triangulated surfaces, we have built an interface which allows the user to map a triangulated surface into its parametric piecewise counterpart. The efficiency of the transformation of a triangulated surface into a parametric representation depends on the capabilities of the discrete smooth interpolation involved in the Gocad project. Indeed, we show that solving this mapping problem changes the variable topology of the triangulated network into a regular one based on quadrangles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
